A ½-inch professional format based on a metal particle tape cassette conforming to the VHS outline. The earlier M-l system, not widely used in PAL, used frequency multiplexing to accommodate luminance and chrominance components on the same tape track. M-ll uses one track for the luminance and a second track for the two time-compressed colour difference signals. The format includes two longitudinal analogue and two FM audio channels.
* For 100% colour bars. IEC 60B (Sec) 191
